Principals of The Hakimian Organization, a developer and property manager of New York real estate since 1970, have partnered with NewMark Capital LLC to form a real estate investment fund.
NewMark, a registered investment advisor currently managed $1 billion in corporate bank loans and other credit assets, and Hakimian will form North Point Capital Group LLC.
The fund will invest in value-add real estate investment opportunities in the Tri-State area, targeting underperforming real estate assets, including multi-family, office, retail and industrial properties.
The fund will also target specialized lending, including distressed notes, mezzanine financing and preferred equity. The first fund is projected to raise $50-$100 million in equity.
“With our comprehensive understanding of the New York real estate market, combined with NewMark Capital’s expertise in leveraged lending, structured finance and credit investing, we are confident in North Point Capital’s ability to achieve strong capital appreciation and investment returns,” said Managing Partner, Shawn Hakimian.
